There are a lot of people who would say that battles always end up in a bloody manner. The moment you enter one, you will always feel hurt. Though this can always be true, but whatever the battle is, you can always choose not to be on the bloody side. There are many ways to fight different battles. If you are not hurt, you might not stay strong. Yet, if you survive what is supposed to hurt you, it might just make you a whole lot stronger. You do not have to die or be in great pain in order to feel that you have won. Sometimes, it only takes courage and elegance in order to see the light in what you are fighting for. Who knows? Before you feel like the battle has begun, it is already over! You might survive it soon enough and you still come out untouched.

Counting the Blessings
November 25, 2011 by dave
You might have heard several times of the idea that one should count the blessings and not the disgrace. Well, for some, this is not an easy thing to do. In fact, one bad event might already erase everything that they have been thankful of. Just because of a tiny slip, they have already lost what they have always believed in. This is the reason why, if possible, one should always be thankful no matter what. If the scenario is not something worth thanking of, at least you should try to learn from it. What could have gone wrong? What could be learned out of what happened? Is this really the end of the road? If not, then the spark of hope should always be there. Not to mention the fact that the gratitude for all the blessings should never stop. With this at hand, it is very easy to get through the rough patches in life.

Relationship is a Private Matter
November 23, 2011 by demitinay
I am a PDA hater—that is, Public Display of Affection hater. I know I am and I know I will always be a hater. Of course, I’m not an extremist. There is some degree of PDA that I can allow and there are just things I really despise. I believe that every relationship is sacred and should be a very private and intimate thing. And, I do not like people who think that just because they’re in love, they have the right to disregard the feelings of others and do whatever they like.
This feeling is just the same with my relationship with my God. I dislike people who post things in the internet (ahemm… Facebook…ahemm) like they’re talking to a God. There are two messages I get when I see these sort of things: one, it is like they’re saying that, “hey I freaking believe in God”, and two, hey, “hey, look, I am in an intimate relationship with Him”. These people draw attention to themselves by using God. If they want to say something to God, why not say it to Him directly? And why should we know that you pray or why should we ever know the content of the prayer? What is that point?

The Little Black Dress
November 19, 2011 by demitinay
For girls, the clothes we wear are reflections of who we are. for those formal occasions which entail s to wear a dress, I think that it would be safest still to wear a little black dress.
The color black has evolved from its dark history. For those who are too young to know, black dress carries a reputation of being worn only by widows. But in start of the 20th century, the black dress has become a fashion icon, the icon of sassy-ness and even sexiness for girls. The little black dress is now considered a classic form of dress and still it has with it the appeal which captivated the fashion scene when it first came out.
Some say that no woman should ever be alive without one little black dress. Its simple, elegant and it sure won’t let you down. With proper length and accessories, it can be worn in almost every event you can think of.

Mario Maurer: Rising Asian Star
November 17, 2011 by demitinay
I first encountered Mario Maurer through a sort of shounen-ai slash yaoi film produced in Thai wherein he co-starred with Witwisit Hiranyawonkool (Pchy). He is a very noticeable character because of his great facial features. He is a very good candidate for the standards of a “boy-next-door” type of boy and his foreign blood makes him stand out from other Thai actors.
Mario Maurer won the Best Actor award for his role in Love of Siam where he portrayed Tong, a gender-confused boy just in his teens. After then, he has been the face of a lot of Thai commercials and movie projects kept on coming. His gay character in the film didn’t even tarnish his viability as a leading actor in romantic films.
Most recently, Mario Maurer has become the new face of Bench and it is all over the news that he will star in a movie with a Filipina actress.

Why I Want Another Life-
November 9, 2011 by demitinay
At present, I can say that life isn’t grand. In truth, I am fully convinced that my life is dull and can be categorized under “just making it through”. Sure, I can make all ends meet but in the end, when I think about it, I do not want to just make ends meet. I want more of life and I want more of what life has to offer to me. I want everything, i want to be an austin certified nutritionist
Right now, I am not free to go about what I want to do. I have responsibilities to myself and my family which keeps me rooted to the ground. These are fine , of course, since they have helped me shape my character. But one of these days, I will break free to follow wherever my heart leads me to.
I want another life because this one sucks. I want another life because I want to truly experience living.

Tips to a Beautiful Bouncy Hair
November 4, 2011 by demitinay
Of course, a beautiful,healthy and bouncy hair can always be achieved with regular visits to a hair salon but it can be very expensive. Unknown to others, there are actually household items available in our kitchen which can be used to achieve that healthy and bouncy hair.
Unorthodox as it might sound, beer can actually make hair naturally healthy and bouncy. Be forewarned of course that beer here is not meant for consumption. After bath, beer can be used to rinse the hair. Doing this once a week will gradually make hair healthier.
The second household item is the baking soda. Yes, you heard it right– baking soda. Aside from its whitening effects to our teeth, baking soda can also make our hair softer and more manageable. The trick here is to mix one to two teaspoons of baking soda with hot water. This will then be used to wash the hair just before conditioning.

Samsung Galaxy Tab
October 16, 2011 by demitinay
Samsung Galaxy Tab was foreseen to be the rival of the famous iPad– the revolutionary touch tablet. When it first arrived, my first impression of it can simply be described in one word: “amazed”. Well, yeah I was amazed. I was used to Samsung products because the company simply is one of the Asian company (Korean company to be exact) which is known worldwide for their innovative electronics and gadget.
I was amazed at how bold Samsung was to launch a tablet to rival Apple’s iPad. And, in fairness to the Galaxy Tab, in terms of design, it isn’t left behind. Well, if you ask Apple fanatics, they’d go on about how the Galaxy tab is a second-rate copy of the iPad. For me, although Galaxy Tab really do look suspiciously like a copycat of iPad, it is at par in terms of functions. And one thing for sure, Galaxy Tab was the first to be sim-pack enabled. One turn off though, Galaxy Tab was far too expensive when it was first came out. Good news, it dropped about 7 thousand off after a few months.

Rooney: Love Me Or Leave Me
October 9, 2011 by demitinay
Rooney is an American rockband which fancies itself with the music which invaded the whole world: British pop and 1980s rock. They have a different style than most bands still existing this day. One distinct characteristic is the classic feel of rock and no “emo” rock.
I can fully say that Rooney was not much of a hit-maker in the mainstream. In fact, if it weren’t for a friend, I wouldn’t have heard of them at all. But when I did listen to their songs, I was hooked to their beat and rhythm. Thought their songs exude a lot of elements but still do not sound so noisy and unappealing to the ears. The stories of their songs are also great due. They exude just enough drama so as to make you feel but not so much to make your heart bleed. They provide great music experience and if you are like me who are into the music of the Beatles, then Rooney will definitely a great choice.

3 Idiots: A Movie Review
October 8, 2011 by demitinay
I was not that into Bollywood movies simply because I find the sound of the Hindi language funny to the ears. This bias has kept me away from Indian movies for so long. I watched Slumdog Billionaire which is not really a Bollywood film but rather a Hollywood film shot in India. Anyway, it was last semester when a friend finally shared 3 Idiots with me.
I instantly connected with the story of 3 Idiots because for I was an Engineering student myself for 2 years before I finally decided to shift to another degree. The movie also got me because I long for such a friendship the characters portrayed– one that can lost for so long, even after college.
3 Idiots, as a movie, was a full package and I cannot categorize it anywhere. It has the elements of comedy, drama, and romance. The story is greatly woven and the cinematography is excellent. The actors and actresses were great and very talented. 3 Idiots will get you hooked into Bollywood that you will crave for more.
